Information on Je-gyun Yun's ongoing Sector 7 production has been sadly lacking. As a filler, Flix Unlimited provides slightly more detail on the plot and the nature of the monsters:

“Sector 7” is about an oil platform in the middle of the ocean that is attacked by a mutant monster. The monster is believed to have come from a strange virus. As the monster emerges, the people on the oil platform do what they can to save themselves.

Apparently negotiations with "US producers" into possible funding arrangements are ongoing. Je-gyun Yun, whose previous film -- the tsunami disaster epic Haeundae (South Korea-2009; dir. Je-gyun Yun) -- was a huge success, particularly in its home country, is working on the script.

Two new images and the official poster from The Asylum's next giant monster epic, Megapiranha (US-2010; dir. Eric Forsberg), have surfaced, with the film on schedule for a 27 April release, way ahead of the film it was set to shadow -- the "remake" Piranha 3D -- which has been put back to August.

Check out more images and info about The Asylum's really-big-piranha plague on Undead Backbrain.

Undead Backbrain introduced you to Return to Yucca Flats: Desert Man-Beast(US-2010; dir. Leon Cowan) -- a remake of a bad 1961 film, The Beast of Yucca Flats (dir. Coleman Francis) -- back in February last year, when it was in post-production.

Well, now writer, producer and PR expert David C. Hayes has sent us the official poster and a few words of encouragement.

With a tag line like:

“30 Corpses… 1 Man Beast… 0 Plot.”

what can we expect? Quite a lot actually. Hayes claims that the film is "the worst movie ever". That's a big call! And given that it features a gaggle of girls in bikinis, it may be better than Robot Monster by default. Only time will tell.

Hayes added that the DVD would be available from Amazon in the next couple of months. So you can find out then if it lives down to the hype.

Ken Russell's über-weird film about a Scottish prostitute, evil master of black magic Aleister Crowley and the Loch Ness Monster has reared its bizarro head once again, after nearly a year of silence. Whereas back in March last year (when Undead Backbrain wrote about it) it was still called Bravetart vs the Loch Ness Monster, it now seems to be called simply Bravetart. At that time it was promised for web-release in Easter 2009. That didn't happen, but it has been reincarnated as a poster:

The film was to star Russell's wife Elise back then, though she isn't mentioned here -- and nor is Russell himself. When we find out something useful we'll let you know.

See Undead Backbrain for further information about the film (as proposed in 2009).

Scouts visit an ancient temple to witness a lunar eclipse. Hearing campfire stories of the legendary god who protects the temple, they decide to go on a treasure hunt. Finding themselves lost in a parallel universe, they must find the way back before the end of the eclipse traps them.

Jennifer Chambers Lynch's Hisss (India/US-2010) -- which the director says she thinks of under the working title "Nagin: The Snake Woman" or perhaps "Hisss: The Vengeance of Nagin"(see this extensive interview with Lynch) -- is still in pre-production, but its sexy female lead, Mallika Sherwat, is drawing a lot of attention across the Net. Some are comparing her to Sridevi, a Hindi megastar who immortalised the snake goddess in Nagina (India-1986; dir. Harmesh Malhotra):

Even Mallika took the bold step of saying:

“[Hisss] will be unlike anything you ever saw. Nagina was a classic, but Hisss is for the new age.” (India Times)

Kurtzman has done make-up and other SFX on a huge list of SFX films, from Night of the Creeps (1086) through Bride of Re-Animator (1990) and Army of Darkness (1992) to In the Mouth of MadnessThir13en Ghosts (1994), (2001), Bubba Ho-tep (2002) and Hulk (2003).
